After compiling a New Year's List and vowing to work through it after a few days I was already in trouble. Item number 13 gets me every time. This one though was my own fault for not adding it to the list properly in the first place. A good friend of mine has a special birthday coming up and I had already decided to make her something. This was the progress on Wednesday at Kate's when we met for our first sewing of the year. Quilting finished and ready for making up into a cushion.

Rosemary was adding to her Grandmother's Flower Garden. I always love the fabrics that Rosemary chooses because they are pretty and summery and leave you feeling good. Essential this time of the year when we have had constant rain. Poor old Somerset is drowning in the stuff yet again. 

Wendy is making a bag with very pretty stitchery. The pattern is from Homespun magazine.

Margaret is busy finishing the binding to a quilt which means a project almost complete. You can see a little bit of Margaret's knitted jacket that she had made and was wearing. Very nice it was too. May have to add that one to my growing list of things to do  at some point.

Kate was contemplating clamshells over a cup of coffee. No quick way of making them. Whichever method you use you still have to do some prep but Kate is very skilled at making them and before long they will be prepped and stitched.

Having got to a stage that I could go no further out came the hexagons and item 10 on the list. Anyone sensible would probably start with number 1 but I hate being sensible and predictable and besides, the  box was handy to bring. Playing around with the layout and now I can add a row of cream. Apologies for the dark photo. I will learn to take decent photo's one day.

We had a lovely day. One of our dear companions Pat was missing as she was not very well. If you are reading this Pat hope you are feeling better. We missed you.

Till next time.

Happy Stitching
